2014 Senior Bowl: Wednesday Rumor Mill
By Charlie Campbell – @draftcampbell
Senior Bowl Rumormill Wednesday
With all the general managers, coaches and scouts in attendance for the Senior Bowl, there is a lot of chatter going around. Here are some of the highlights from the rumormill.
A year ago, the quarterback who rose in a weak class was the signal-caller who possessed the best physical skill set, Buffalo’s E.J. Manuel. The Bills’ view was, if we have to reach for a quarterback, we may as well do it with the guy that has the size, passing ability and mobility to be a starter in the NFL. Bortles matches that description, while Teddy Bridgewater and Johnny Manziel come up short in at least one of those areas. Thus, if one quarterback ends up climbing to the top of the 2014 NFL Draft, Bortles could be the most likely candidate.
Henderson needs a firm hand to give him some guidance and discipline. Tice, a big man who commands respect with the experience of being a player and head coach, is the perfect mentor to straighten out the gifted Henderson. The Falcons have stated that they want to get bigger and more physical on the offensive line. Henderson would provide a lot of upside to develop. Tice and Atlanta would be a perfect landing spot for Henderson, and those stars could be aligning.
